Update: The paper is now out and available here: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.78106 This is the key paper of Lisa’s PhD. While decades of research have characterized pre-saccadic sensitivity modulations at the target of eye movements, little is known about the concurrent development of visual sensitivity in the pre-saccadic center of gaze. In a series of experiments, we … Continue reading In Press: Foveal vision anticipates defining features of eye movement targets

New Perspective paper in Nature Reviews Psychology
Our new Perspective paper discussing how incidental sensory consequences of motor behavior shape the coupling of perception to action has just appeared in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. We have written a detailed Twitter thread on it, which you can find here. Here's the reference a link to the pdf:Rolfs, M. & Schweitzer, R. (2022). Coupling perception … Continue reading New Perspective paper in Nature Reviews Psychology
In press: Oculomotor freezing indicates conscious detection free of decision bias
The same visual stimulus can sometimes reach awareness, while other times it does not. To understand why, we need objective, bias-free measures of awareness. We had previously discovered that a reflexive freezing of small eye movements indicates when an observer detects a stimulus (see White & Rolfs, 2016). In a new set of experiments that … Continue reading In press: Oculomotor freezing indicates conscious detection free of decision bias
Press coverage on Science Advances paper
Our recent paper in Intra-saccadic motion streaks jump-start gaze correction (2021, Science Advances), revealing a possible functional role of intra-saccadic motion streaks received some peer commentary and media coverage. Here's a summary of that: Perspective in Science Advances: Fabius, J. H. & van der Stigchel, S. (2021). Vision while the eyes move: Getting the full … Continue reading Press coverage on Science Advances paper
In press: Intra-saccadic motion streaks jump-start gaze correction
How do human observers establish object correspondence when the objects rapidly change locations on the retina with each saccade? There is strong evidence that the visual system encodes pre-saccadic object features in visual short-term memory, which are subsequently matched to the post-saccadic retinal image. In a new paper, to appear in Science Advances, we provide evidence … Continue reading In press: Intra-saccadic motion streaks jump-start gaze correction
In press: New paper on perceptual grouping during pre-saccadic attention
What is the unit of pre-saccadic selection: A location that is spatially confined to the target of an upcoming eye movement, or an extended object – the one that an observer is aiming to inspect by directing her gaze towards it? We teamed up with Arezoo Pooresmaeili at the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen to study … Continue reading In press: New paper on perceptual grouping during pre-saccadic attention
In press: New paper on how visual sensitivity reshapes at saccade targets
How does the preparation of an eye movement alter the shape of a broad sensitivity profile at the eye movement target? And how does this affect sensitivities to single spatial frequencies on the profile? In a new paper, to appear in Cortex, we set out to provide a holistic description of pre-saccadic sensitivity modulations by … Continue reading In press: New paper on how visual sensitivity reshapes at saccade targets
Out now: New paper on temporal reference frames in visual working memory
We are happy to announce Anna's first paper coming out of her work on temporal reference frames in visual working memory, which has just appeared in Cognition. Heuer, A. & Rolfs, M. (2021). Incidental encoding of visual information in temporal reference frames in working memory. Cognition, 207:104526, 1-9. [pdf] Spatial and temporal properties structure our visual experience, but our … Continue reading Out now: New paper on temporal reference frames in visual working memory
